This industrial-chic restaurant from Ken Lyon features traditional Italian fare from regions as far North as Piedmont to Sicily and Sardinia in the South.  The restaurant is also a showcase for the Driade collection, a shop for cutting edge furniture design and decorative objects.  This has been a place to see the movers and shakers of the design and art districts since it opened.  The pastas, panini, artisanal cheeses and olives and the fresh fish keep the locals coming back.  The meats are grass fed and the seafood is sustainably sourced.  The veal bolognese is hearty and flavorful, the ricotta filled ravioli in brown butter sage, a showstopper.  Salads are well crafted with the lemon kissed fennel one of the best.
